On-Chip Photonics: Principles, Technology and Applications

by Alina Karabchevsky (Editor), Amol Choudhary (Editor)

Overview

On-Chip Photonics: Principles, Technology and Applications reviews advances in integrated photonic devices and their demonstrated applications, including ultrafast high-power lasers on a chip, mid-infrared and overtone spectroscopies, all-optical processing on a chip, logic gates on a chip, and cryptography on a chip. The summaries in the book's chapters facilitate an understanding of the field and enable the application of optical waveguides in a variety of optical systems. The ultimate goal of this work is aimed at accelerating the transition of on-chip photonics from academia to the industry. Each chapter, where appropriate, provides an overview of the computational tools, fabrication methods, and suggestions for the realization of on-chip photonic devices. - Introduces advanced concepts of passive and active on-chip photonic components - Discusses emerging applications of on-chip photonics, quantum technologies, computing, and more - Reviews materials, computational tools, and suggestions for the realization of on-chip photonic devices
